Re: Responsibilities of a Mentor

Re: High Score at the CT Regional
The fact that FIRST doesn't list a 558 point match at the CT regional during qualifying leads me to suspect that this occurred during an extended practice match.

Re: 2008 Chesapeake Regional
Benhulett, I think it may be telling that the winning alliance consisted of the number 10, 21 and 43 ranked teams. Some people may ignore doing any scouting, but they tend to lose.

I don't think that phrontist has the domain, seeing as he didn't start it. If he did, however, good luck trying to get it back. He lost our team's domain as well.
